From Tony Osauzo, Benin

Edo State has announced that it would deploy 689 athletes and 236 officials to the 20th National Sports Festival (NSF), tagged “Edo 2020”, boasting that it would host and win the games.

Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC)‎ Philip Shaibu‎, who announced this in Benin City on Monday while addressing journalists in Government House, asssured that, despite the reduction in glamour the festival would suffer as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state would organise a befitting festival with the state of the art facilities it has provided, including the pitch at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium which he said the Nigerian Olympic team would use to prepare for the coming Tokyo Olympic games.

‘I can assure you that Edo State is prepared, our track is of the latest technology, it is the same track athletes will be using in Tokyo that is why Nigerian athletes will be using the facilities to prepare for Tokyo Olympic games,’ Deputy Governor Shaibu said.

‘Though the opening and closing ceremony will not be as planned, I can assure you that the competition will be one of the best organised. Our athletes have been involved in series of trainings and games to keep them fit and I can assure you that we are not only hosting, but we sre hosting to win the competition.’

He disclosed that spectators hoping to watch live games would not have the opportunity to do so as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the games.
